Learn how to nail those parachute jumps in GTA V's Flight School. Get Gold on the stationary target challenge by following these expert tips and landing techniques.

Alright, so you're ready to try your hand at skydiving in Grand Theft Auto V? If you've already done some parachute jumps, this next challenge should feel pretty familiar. The main goal here is to land on a stationary target, and the best part is, there's no time limit. So, take a deep breath and let's get that Gold Medal!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, dive out of the helicopter. You're super high up, so feel free to freefall for a bit to get your bearings and aim yourself towards that yellow circle target in the distance.
  2. 2
    Now, here's the key for the Gold Medal: pull your parachute cord when your head is *almost* touching the target circle. This gives you ample time to maneuver.
  3. 3
    Once your chute is open, glide towards the target. Don't worry about adjusting your height too much just yet.
  4. 4
    When you're roughly above the parking lot of the buildings across the road from the target, gently push down on the control stick. You want to lower yourself just enough to be above the multi-story car park you'll be landing on.
  5. 5
    Now it's time for precision mode. Line up the target circle with your head and shoulders. If it looks like you're going to land too soon or too late, use the control stick to adjust your descent – push up or down as needed.
  6. 6
    For that sweet Gold Medal, you need to touch your feet down *inside* the inner ring of the target. Aim carefully!
Tips
  • The table shows the required distances for each medal: Bronze at 20ft, Silver at 10ft, and Gold at just 3ft from the center.
  • Landing with your feet inside the inner ring is crucial for Gold.
  • Don't rush the parachute deployment; pulling it earlier gives you more control for the landing.
  • If you miss the target, don't sweat it. You can always try again. The goal is to get that perfect stationary landing.

Landing perfectly on the target will earn you a Gold Medal for the skydiving challenge.
